Description
Summary:This paper presents the implementation, design and testing of MGA thermal storage materials in the roles of capture, storage and discharge of thermal energy. A discussion of the performance in these roles will follow with a view to developing a unified thermal capture, storage and discharge demonstration apparatus using CSP and a single MGA block. Merging all of these components into one compact module will drastically decrease the capital cost, footprint, and Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) associated with CSP plants.
